> I don't know which hypothetical CI runner you have in mind. Back in reality, most CICD services bill you on time spent running tests, not "core". Even core count is reflected as runtime multpliers.

If you’re charging a runtime multiplier per core then there’s a cost per core. Included minutes on most runners are limited to basic versions with limited cores. Try xdist pytest on a default GitHub runner and get any speed up…

> Moreover, services like GitHub not only offer a baseline of minutes per month, and on top of that provide support for self-hosted runners that cost you nothing.

Except the cost of the hardware, sysadmin time for setting up and supporting ephemeral runners, monitoring, etc…

> No, that's simply false and fundamentally wrong. You can run any test on any scenario independently of any other test from another scenario.

In end to end system tests if you have 100 hitting at the same time how do you guarantee the underlying state is the same so the tests are idempotent?

Also another example, I set up testing pipelines for an OS that ran in an FPGA in a HIL CI test. I had three of these due to operating costs. How could I parallelise tests that required flashing firmware AND have the most pipelines running as possible?
Like I've said before, this isn't a physical good that is being sold. LLM is knowledge and many governments and people are going to be concerned with how and who is packaging it. Using LLMs created by China will mean certain events in history will be omitted (which will not be exclusive to China). How the LLM responds will be dictated by the LLM training and so forth.

LLMs will become the ultimate propaganda tool (if they aren't already), and I don't see why governments wouldn't want to have full control over them.

VC tax loss harvesting? They need proof to mark down their investment to zero?

Most taxpayers have to realize the loss to take a tax deduction against their gains, but some tax elections allow you to do the same without finding a buyer for the worthless shares, which narrows down the incentives

Mark to Market election

as well as non-profits

some non-profit investors have stricter scrutiny as their charitable distribution requirement is based on net assets. so there is an incentive to arbitrarily mark malperforming investments down to lower values, but being able to get the business to announce their failure supports it better

There are plenty of powerful programmer editors, yes being mostly written in Lisp dialect makes it powerful, but also makes one lose too much time yak shaving instead of programming the actual task.

XEmacs, much better than Emacs back then, was my rescue for not having IDE culture back in my early UNIX days. We're talking back when Xenix and DG/UX would be known names to anyone working with UNIXes.

Nowadays, while Emacs key bindings and elisp might still be burned into my brain cells, I no longer reach out to it.

> So in practice the EEC was renamed to the EEA

It was not renamed to the EEA, in practice or otherwise. The EEA is a geographic part of Europe based on an agreement between the EFTA, the EU, and the various member states. The EEC was a supranational organisation with a whole internal structure (council, parliament, etc). They are not even the same kind of entity.

You can argue about the roles of these different bodies and how some of them were superseded by some others. Although non-EU, EEA member states are outside both the CPA and the CFP, which were cornerstones of the EEC. The EEA is not some mythical, ideologically pure version of the EU as it was back when it was only a common market (it never was). It’s a completely different thing. It was initially a way of functioning for countries that wanted to be close to the EC, but not too close. Saying that the EEA is the EEC renamed is plainly, factually wrong.

The EEC was renamed the EC and disappeared in 2009, at which point the EEA had been existing for 15 years.

The point is that Russia was entirely willing to engage in urban warfare of this intensity regardless of what it does to civilians. And just so that we're clear about what intensity that is, Mariupol has seen a larger percentage of buildings destroyed than Stalingrad did back in WW2.

Carpet bombing is tricky when your planes get blown out of the sky on a regular basis and your industry can't replace them as easily as it can replace artillery shells. That's the main reason why they're using glide bombs and missiles instead.

Oh, and you don't need to look at Mosul or Raqqa to see other examples, either. Grozny, in either the first or the second Chechen war, is a nice illustration of how Russia fight wars.

How does modules solve this problem? If you changed Module A, don't you need to also test every component that depends on that module to account for any possible regression?

> The scenario used to drive this idea is a slippery slope fallacy that tests can take over an hour to run after years.

It doesn't really take much for a project to grow to one hour for tests to run. If you have a CI/CD pipeline that executes tests on every commit and you have 30-40 commits daily, that's 30-40 hours.

Still, I'd rather setup a full 2 machines to run the tests than rather have to deal with selective testing. It might make sense if you have hundreds of commits per day.
All of my grandparents lived well into their 90s.
Mediterranean people, they loved good food and good wine (a bit of smoking too for some of them), fought/survived WW2, worked fairly rough jobs after, no exercise in the modern sense (eg cardio/strength training).

I have a sneaking suspicion our generation won't make it as far as them (and a few of my family members in the generation after have died in their 70s already). A part of me wants to say "chemicals and microplastics" but my grandpa worked in factories with some pretty nasty chemicals so that can't count for nothing (and they drove cars with leaded fuel too).

Maybe it is in no small part that they spent more time outdoors, and more time socializing? Or maybe it's all just randomness and none of that has any rhyme or reason.

If you are talking about the 1953 coup, I've never heard that description. Everything I've read says the UK, with some degree of US support, overthrew the government.

> And it's a little far fetched to call an armies call to take over the unstable situation a coup when the current head of the state is incapable to take any action because of a serious illness.

That's exactly a coup. The people who conduct coups - and other crimes and violations - always have a smooth justification. Russia is protecting Russians in Ukraine! Hitler needed some 'breathing room', etc.

If the head of state is incapable, then the next civilian in line can take over. No advanced democracy has ever needed the military's help for such a situation.
Let me take a wild guess and say that your upbringing is… protestant?

According to wikipedia (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inquisizione#L'Inquisizione_sp... they put to death 826 people, so that's less than 3 people per year and less than 2% of the people they judged.

We know this accurately because it was a legal proceeding that left paper trails which can be studied.

Your claim that it led to the collapse of portugal and spain seems quite wild. And certainly doesn't explain why you think it had no ill effect in protestant countries that kept burning people for 200 years more.
Not today, not with what elections are in Russia now and have been for well over a decade. But back in 2000, he absolutely was an elected head of state, yeah. I've been there when it happened, and yes, we coped (many by leaving the country, then or later when it became clear that what we expected is what is actually happening).

Just goes to show what happens when you elect people like this, and why any democracy that wants to remain one will have mechanisms in place that will block such people regardless of how many votes they might get.

I am currently trying to combine my EDR agent that I wrote over the last 2 years for POSIX systems in Go + eBPF and the Hypathia project [1] which actually was very promising but is now inactive because the author gave up.

So far the approach still seems promising, but I would need more devs to help me as I'm contributing in my free time and I won't accept funding for my cyber security related projects, ever.

Would be nice if some other folks feel the same way as you and we can revive the Hypathia project to be better in the sense of eBPF process analysis, in-memory modification detection, and network analysis via XDP.

I can see tests running 50$ if you are running them on Github compute which is x10-x15 times more expensive than AWS. Still, even at 2-3$ that's still quite expensive. Maybe if you have a really large low-level build. I have a really small one and it consumes roughly 10 minutes on Github.
When I see stuff like that I can't help but wonder if the people who are satisfied by it are the ones who fall upwards and of course say the system is working perfectly.

Yeah I was looking for that. When I was in basic training the security of radio crypto was described as maybe a week in the field.

Any attack taking years isn't going to be operationally relevant.

I suspect this protocol was developed basically as a computational complexity trade off to keep within those sorts of boundaries.
Perfect analogy except instead of killing the attacker and bystander to get the hostage you also take out 40 other bystanders in 200m radius and just to be sure level every building in that radius to the ground.

As well as the Virgin Islands, which the US bought from Denmark as recently as 1917.

The population of Greenland, per Wikipedia, is 56,583. The US could offer $50,000 to each man, woman, and child in Greenland. That's just over $2.8bn, which is pocket change for the US. The domestic (Greenlandic) politics around this could shift dramatically with such an offer. Throw in a few billion for Denmark (or a promise to continue to engage in NATO, or some other core interest of Denmark's) and you've probably got a sealed deal.

I'm not saying that the Greenlanders should do this, but it's not nearly as unrealistic as some people seem to think. I'd be surprised if Trump actually followed up on any of this though.
> I see a lot of these KG tools pop up, but they never solve the first problem I have, which is actually constructing the KG itself.

I have heard good things about Graphrag [1] (but what a stupid name). I did not have the time to try it properly, but it is supposed to build the knowledge graph itself somewhat transparently, using LLMs. This is a big stumbling block. At least vector stores are easy to understand and trivial to build.

It looks like KAG can do this from the summary on GitHub, but I could not really find how to do it in the documentation.

'Obelisks': New class of life has been found in human digestive system
It’s an interesting point but social media (especially X and Bluesky) is largely ephemeral content. If it goes away, what have you really lost? Hot takes?

Running your own blog on your own domain is a good idea and anything long-form would be on there not Bluesky, no? The vast majority of people will run their blog on a platform though, be that Wordpress or Bear or Ghost etc all of which (in theory!) could go away. Where does it end?

I’ve been thinking about this a lot with my blogging platform (https://pagecord.com). It’s hard not to lock people in with a platform, but most people WANT a platform because it’s easy to use. I’ve made Pagecord open source and I’m working on an export so the whole site can be exported to Jekyll-compliant Markdown, so in theory you could leave and be up and running in a self-hosted way (fairly) easily.

So maybe transportable content standards is the most important thing to solve?

Fellow legal tech founder here. The first thing I look at in projects like this are the prompts:

https://github.com/OpenSPG/KAG/blob/master/kag/builder/promp...

All you’re doing here is “front loading” AI: Imstead of running slow and expensive LLMs at query time, you run them at index time.

It’s a method for data augmentation or, in database lingo, index building. You use LLMs to add context to chunks that doesn’t exist on either the word level (searchable by BM25) or the semantic level (searchable by embeddings).

A simple version of this would be to ask an LLM:

“List all questions this chunk is answering.” [0]

But you can do the same thing for time frames, objects, styles, emotions — whatever you need a “handle” for to later retrieve via BM25 or semantic similarity.

I dreamed of doing that back in 2020, but it would’ve been prohibitively expensive. Because it requires passing your whole corpus through an LLM, possibly multiple times, once for each “angle”.

That being said, I recommend running any “Graph RAG” system you see here on HN over some 1% or so of your data. And then look inside the database. Look at all text chunks, original and synthetic, that are now in your index.

I’ve done this for a consulting client who absolutely wanted “Graph RAG”. I found the result to be an absolute mess. That is because these systems are built to cover a broad range of applications and are not adapted at all to your problem domain.

So I prefer working backwards:

What kinds of queries do I need to handle? What does the prompt to my query time LLM need to look like? What context will the LLM need? How can I have this context for each of my chunks, and be able to search by match air similarity? And now how can I make an LLM return exactly that kind of context, with as few hallucinations and as little filler as possible, for each of my chunks?

This gives you a very lean, very efficient index that can do everything you want.

[0] For a prompt, you’d add context and give the model “space to think”, especially when using a smaller model. Also, you’d instruct it to use a particular format, so you can parse out the part that you need. This “unfancy” approach lets you switch out models easily and compare them against each other without having to care about different APIs for “structured output”.

> That just makes those people unemployable, and will need food stamps even more. Nobody is going to hire people who cost more than the value they produce.

You're subsidizing those wages with your tax dollars. You're paying billions per year to make those low incomes livable. In the end it's just corporate welfare:

Yeah no thanks, I just test on Android and hope it's good enough on iOS.
This sounds like you haven't dealt with much moderately complex code in JavaScript. It sounds like you've never run into a situation where innocuous-looking code like

if (isAuthenticated)
{
...
}

behaves strangely and it takes you hours to track down in debugging, only to find that somewhere else in the code, isAuthenticated was assigned an array and it was assumed it could be treated as a Boolean that would be false if and only if the array was empty. Turns out sometimes the value is [[]] and it gets treated as false unexpectedly.

In any reasonable language, even a dynamically typed one, this should just be a type error because it's not a Boolean, but JavaScript decides to do something almost certainly unwanted. This is the real source of the complaints, not the fact that you can write “[[]]==false” on the console and laugh at the results.
